The Flight Simulation hobby can quickly consume any spare time that you have, and often, the 2 hours you had set aside to ‘fly’ can be eaten up by looking around the web at the many websites on offer. Below are 10 great FSX websites that I frequently use, in my opinion you should […]

Personally I find it annoying when I download and install a new aircraft into FSX to find that it doesn’t have a GPS. I know that some of the aircraft wouldn’t have had a GPS when they were in service and would have used radio navigation or the stars to navigate the skies. But […]

As you might be able to tell from my blog/site I am a big fan of aviation and flight simulation, particularly Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

One of my favourite hobbies is flight simulation, as the name fsnut suggests. Below is a short video showing an approach and landing into Welshpool, EGCK using the Aerosoft Beaver X and Orbx FTX EU Wales Scenery.
